I've just gotten hold of a new pc

I know it's not incredible, but I was hoping you could point me to a site that converts old games to the new base system that Vista uses. I've just bought Outrun Coast 2 Coast for a fiver and I'll be gutted if it runs like crap.

Also, if anyone coul direct me to a decent graphics card that's compatible with my machine I'd greatly appreciate it.

Most games run absolutely fine in Vista, and those that don 't usually have some kind of fan-made patch. Depending on what games you play however, you may run into problem titles. For example, I dual-boot Vista 64-bit and XP 64-bit because the Metal Gear Solid games don't work very well in Vista.

But it's not really a case of 'what old games work in Vista' but 'what old games do not work', because it's definately the exception to get a problem game.
